The JMM and Congress on Saturday announced that the two parties would contest 70 of the state's 81 Assembly seats, leaving the rest for their allies, including the RJD.
“Less than 12-13 seats are not acceptable to us as the RJD has a strong hold on 18-20 seats. If we are asked to contest three-four seats, we are not ready to make any sacrifices,” Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) spokesperson Manoj Kumar Jha said.
“Our sole aim is to defeat BJP, we will not sabotage the INDIA bloc,” he said.
Jha, a Rajya Sabha MP, said even if the party decided to go solo in the elections, it would extend support to INDIA bloc candidates on 60-62 seats.
